Overview
Emerging technologies like drones have profound implications for national security, economic development, and regulatory frameworks. UPSC assesses understanding of technological advancements, their dual-use nature, and policy responses to associated challenges.
Drone technology involves the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for various applications, ranging from surveillance and logistics to recreational use. The proliferation of drones, however, also poses significant security challenges, leading to the development of counter-drone systems designed to detect, track, and neutralize unauthorized drones.
